September
4, 2004 - Pleasant Hill, Iowa |
| The 4th Annual Scott
Kiefer Have a Heart for Marfan Walk – Fun Run got the Pleasant Hill
Labor Day Festival off to an early start on Saturday, September 4. Nearly
60 individuals enjoyed the beautiful, crisp morning air as they participated
in a leisurely walk/jog along Pleasant Hill’s scenic bike trail to
help raise awareness and funds for the Marfan syndrome. Participants were
treated along the route to signs containing informative and humorous sayings
about the Marfan syndrome.
Several area businesses and volunteers helped support the event, which raised over $3,000 for Emergency Room Awareness, Pediatric Awareness and Marfan Research. Following the Walk – Fun Run, several individuals participated in the Labor Day parade, where they tossed candy and t-shirts, and distributed literature on the Marfan syndrome. Mark you calendars! The 2005 event is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, September 3, 2005. If you would like to help with the event, please contact Teri Dean. |
